Amazing Love Story
I utterly, utterly loved this book. I could feel the love and emotion that Ms. Taylor poured into it from her own heart. I wait with bated breath for each and every one of her books and I'm never disappointed. If you haven't read all of her books, I envy you the opportunity. Go read them!

I Love An Obsessive Romance
Sylvie Pinnock is out of her element when she meets Holt Calson, and he continues to disrupt her life ten years later. Holt Calson has never met someone like Sylvie, and he does not plan to let her go. How unfortunate that there are bigger plans at play.
I’ve been eyeing Theodora Taylor for a while so I was happy to find that I liked this one. I side-eyed Sylvie’s Jamaican, but it is what it is at the end of the day.
I really like obsessive romances. Like yes, they can be VERY scary, but I like the idea of being so wholeheartedly into someone that it basically consumes you. I only like it in the men. The women can just be regular in love; we’re here to be romanced.
I recommend this to anyone who loves a good romance with all the messy parts. It’s cute.

Heart stopping excitement
I gave it 5 stars. I started this book last night and I read the first chapter before going to sleep. I woke this morning and I finished it today.
Ho!t struggles with addiction in one form or another though the first part of the book. He than meets Sylvia "Sylvie" Pinnoct. She is his savior in a sense but not until it was to late.
Fast forward ten years and this story how the struggle that they have both suffered though and how devious Holt's father is and what role he plays in the way they had ended ten years before.
This book was very gripping nd one that I got for free from one of the website that I get free books emailed to me everyday.
I would definitely recommend this book to someone who enjoys a fast read. I cannot wait to red the rest of the books in the series. Just have to wait till payday to buy them.

This is a good story.
If you are looking for super angst, misunderstandings and second chances this book is for you.
The couple have huge issues and problems, they are together for a while then break up and reconnect 10 years later.
There is a lot of pain and hurt but they do get a HEA even if you think they are never going to get there.
